[Jython-users] Complete beginner trying to get started

[C. P. B. <po...@et...>]

First of all, I apologize if this is RTFM.  I tried, but didn't make it very
far.

I have some python experience, but absolutely *no* java experience, and I am
trying to get jython 2.0 up and running on my win2k box.

I downloaded it and installed it with jview into the directory
c:\WINNT\java\jython-2.0.  I edited the registry file.  I added two lines:
python.path=.;c:\\winnt\\java\jython-2.0\\lib
python.jythonc.compiler = jview

Because of my utter lack of java knowledge, I didn't add any
python.jythonc.classpath or python.jythonc.compileropts.

    I ran a simple test program and it ran fine in jython.  I then tried to
create java bytecode, and this is what happened:
    2111:PWORK:~$ jythonc test.py
    Traceback (innermost last):
      File "C:\WINNT\Java\jython-2.0\Tools\jythonc\jythonc.py", line 4, in ?
      File "C:\WINNT\Java\jython-2.0\Tools\jythonc\main.py", line 70, in ?
      File "C:\WINNT\Java\jython-2.0\Tools\jythonc\compile.py", line 7, in ?
      File "C:\WINNT\Java\jython-2.0\Tools\jythonc\SimpleCompiler.py", line
6, in ?
      File "C:\WINNT\Java\jython-2.0\Tools\jythonc\ImportName.py", line 9,
in ?
      File "C:\WINNT\Java\jython-2.0\Tools\jythonc\util.py", line 11, in ?
    ImportError: no module named java
    2111:PWORK:~$


Like I said, I tried following what instructions I could find.  Could
somebody please help me get started with jython?
